WIP to Contract Labor

@Lacy P  Assuming the reports you refer to are the year end 1099s, you can code any expense account you like to show up on the 1099.

As to the WIP accounts, that would depend on exactly how you went about setting them up.

You can set up Contract Labor as a vendor and pay using checks, Lacy. Let me elaborate on it in detail.

We can use checks instead of a journal entry (JE) in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) because checks can be used to pay the contractor, whereas journal entries are for recording purposes only. To make a payment using a check, follow these steps:

Here's how:

1. Sign in to your Desktop Company file.
2. Go to the Banking menu, and choose Write Checks.
3. Choose Contract Labor in the Pay to the Order of field, then fill in the necessary information.
4. In the line items field specify select the  Repairs and Maintenance and Work in Progress accounts.
5. Once done, select Save & Close.

To check the total amount you pay to your vendor for whom you set up the contract labor, you can run the Transaction List by Vendor report.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Reports menu, hover over Vendors and Payables, and choose Transaction List by Vendor.
2. In the upper left corner select the Customize report.
3. From the Display tab, filter the report by the necessary date range to show the specific report.
4. Click OK once done.

Additionally, you can create and file 1099s in QuickBooks Desktop to prepare and file your federal taxes.

Your success is my priority, and I'm just a message away to assist you whenever you need help managing your contractors in QBDT. I look forward to supporting you.

What in the blue hell are you talking about?

Why would you ever do that?
